Yet Another Problem .....

I distinctly remember as a kid that everything went along swimmingly my entire life.  There were no problems and certainly nothing to worry about.  Oh for those days of old!!  I guess there's always good and bad.  I'm about to find another BAD item.

I've been putting the critter cam out to see if the fox troop is still sneaking into my back yard, but haven't caught up to them yet.  However there is a new critter hanging out ... a black and white one ... but not what you think.  This poor baby has a little limp.  I was feeling bad for him/her until I heard it yowling loudly at my front door this morning.  A good sign it's spring time in the valley I guess. 

Having been gone for awhile, I had to do some cleaning since I was tripping over the dust bunnies.  Uh oh ... there's a wet spot on the floor in my bedroom.  No it wasn't Cooper.  I looked up and almost cried.  The tiny little wet spot around my light fixture is now a BIG wet spot.  The painters/roofers fixed that, right???

That would be wrong.  Now I have to find someone ELSE to fix it and soon.  Thank goodness there's no rain expected for the next week or so.  I do not look forward to climbing up ten feet into my attic.

I did discover something else ... if you want to be really scared at the no-see-ums ... just walk around your house at night with only a flashlight looking up in the corners to see if anything ELSE is leaking.  You will be shocked at the spiderwebs you see hanging down from the ceiling like the Haunted House at Disneyland!!!  Some were even two feet long!!  Guess I better get out my ten foot long RV washing pole and get to work!

To sooth my now rattled brain, I finally went to the store for the Cool Whip I forgot last time.  That meant I could make THIS!!  Easy peasy pineapple cheesecake!  Instead of putting it in a pie shell, I used muffin cups and stuck it in the freezer.  Perfect portion control, right?

Or not, because I ate not one, but TWO of them!  Gosh these are good ... not too sweet and so tasty.  Thank you Patsy for the recipe.

THEN .... I went to the fabric store to pick up some material for the fish quilt.  Luckily on this trip I didn't find anything extra I couldn't live without.  I think that's because I have a roof repair to pay for.

Back home I started on this new book.  Peter Brand has been investigating the lives of the men Wyatt Earp took with with to find his brother's killers.  It turns out that Texas Jack Vermillion has a long history and wasn't the guy everyone thought he was all these years.  It's a mystery ... and I hope this book has the answers.

I spent the next three hours blocking all of 362 spam emails I get most every day.  It's ridiculous.  I know I've had this email address since email addresses were invented, but geez!!!!!  If you didn't get a response the first 589 times you sent it out, I doubt you will get a response now.  

Unsubscribing just got me in trouble since THAT was the link they wanted you to hit.  It took me forever to fix the result.  I still get emails in my junk folder that need to be kept, so I can't just summarily delete all of them.  Sometimes the electronic age isn't worth the paper it's printed on!!

Dinner was pretty tasty ... another stir fry with leftover pork loin.  Turns out it was mostly pork and little veggies, but that's right up my alley.

My sweet kid, attached at the hip, slept through the entire San Angelo Texas rodeo we watched for the next two hours.  Such good company this little guy.

Next up ... does anyone know what this pan is used for?  It's old fashioned to say the least, and rarely used any more.  On the ranch, it got used all the time for those she-she branding lunches we held every spring.  There wasn't so much she-she because we all smelled of cow pies and wet horse blankets.  

I'll be playing with this today because roofers don't work on weekends, nor do they answer their phones.  Can't blame them I guess!!

Tomorrow we'll talk branding.  Thanks for stopping by ... I love to read your comments!!
